Who We Are
At A.M.A Postpartum Care, we believe that every mother deserves rest, care, and community after birth. Inspired by time-honored African postpartum traditions, we provide non-medical support that nurtures both mother and baby. Whether it's warm nourishing meals, traditional postpartum techniques, or a comforting presence, we help mothers recover with the love and care they deserve.
A.M.A is the first African inspired postpartum care center in Canada. We are here to offer premium postpartum care services to mothers, especially African mothers in the diaspora in Ontario, Canada and beyond. We collaborate with midwives and others maternal care expects to provide cultural sensitive care. We specialize in newborn care, light cleaning, postpartum support for the new mother, nutritious postpartum catering etc..

The Reality of Postpartum Care for African Mothers
Higher Maternal Mortality Rates
Black mothers are 2.6 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes.
Postpartum Depression Goes Untreated
Black women experience higher rates of postpartum depression but receive less support.
Cultural Postpartum Support is Fading
In many African cultures, mothers receive 40 days of dedicated care, but modern lifestyles have made this rare
Black Mothers Face More Barriers to Care
Many Black mothers in the diaspora lack access to postpartum support, making recovery harder.
